Lamb's Lettuce

 On Monday I planted a row of corn salad, aka lamb's lettuce.  Variety 'Vit'  (I'm trying to record varieties here so that a year from now when I've forgotten what I planted, I can come back and check what varieties did well.)




It's a simple salad vegetable and is hardy unless the weather is really bad, so I should be able to crop some through the autumn (depending on how fast it comes up)  I may add a second row later on to have a succession.  I may possibly need to add a cloche when the weather is really bad.

I didn't plant anything today, I was feeling a bit wheezy and tired.  Hopefully, I'll get something done tomorrow.  Richard picked all the blackcurrants yesterday, so we'll freeze most of those.  I've got some redcurrants to nibble.  I love those and they cropped reasonably well.  Having netting made a big difference.  We got more than the birds this year!
